The Coffee and Terroir

Experience the renowned quality of Costa Rica, a nation internationally celebrated for producing some of the world's most consistently excellent Arabica beans. This MONT58 Single Origin coffee is typically sourced from the country's high-altitude volcanic regions, such as Tarrazú, West Valley, or Central Valley.

The beans are designated Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) or Strictly High Grown (SHG), meaning they are grown at high elevations, generally between 1,200 and 1,800 metres above sea level (m.a.s.l.). The cool climate and nutrient-rich volcanic soil allow the coffee cherries to mature slowly, resulting in beans that are dense, highly acidic, and possess a beautifully complex, clean flavour.

Processing and Profile

Costa Rica is famous for pioneering different processing methods, but its high-quality beans often undergo the Washed (Wet) process or the distinctive Honey process to achieve their characteristic cleanliness and sweetness.

Process (Likely): Washed (for maximum cleanliness and brightness) or Honey (to enhance the honey and fruit sweetness).
Growing Regions: Tarrazú, West Valley, or Central Valley (known for their distinct bright acidity).
Altitude: 1,200 – 1,800 m.a.s.l. (Strictly High Grown)
Varietals: Predominantly Caturra or Catuai.

Recommended Brewing Method

Given the bright acidity and clean flavour profile of a light-to-medium roasted bean, brewing methods that highlight clarity and nuance are recommended:

Best for Pour-Over (V60 or Chemex): This method perfectly emphasises the coffee's vibrant, sparkling acidity and its delicate honey and fruity notes, delivering a clean, transparent cup.

Excellent for AeroPress: Ideal for a fast, clean brew that preserves the brightness while allowing the light body to remain exceptionally smooth.

About The Roastery

Mont58 Coffee is the passion project of husband-and-wife team, Shai and Maya. Their journey began quite literally at home in 2018, when they took the plunge and jacked in their full-time jobs to start roasting coffee in a humble garden shed in South-East London. Shai, whose passion for coffee was sparked by childhood memories of drinking cardamom-spiced coffee with his grandfather, honed his craft on a tiny 250g machine.

This small-batch venture quickly took off, especially during the lockdown when the local community wholeheartedly embraced their door-to-door, bike-delivered coffee.

While they have since scaled up to a larger roastery in Ashford, Kent, and opened further sites, the spirit of that original shed, small business, big heart, remains central to their award-winning, ethical, and community-focused mission. It's a proper 'started from the ground up' success story, but with significantly better beans.
